In my previous blog post about Coach Spurrier being a "Mad Genius" for his decisions, I never meant to imply he was evil. I was discussing how SMART his decisions were and how most of the media missed out on the fact that (in my opinion) a lot of his "antics" are things he does on purpose to make his players be in the best position possible to win games. Some folks at some forums have decided to post that what I was writing was making him look like an evil villain in a James Bond film or something, and really all I meant was that his actions were ON PURPOSE.So don't confuse my alliances here. I am not trying to make Coach Spurrier look devious or evil. I was just trying to make a quick metaphor to communicate how smart what he was doing was! GO COCKS!

Tune in soon for some responses to some individual posts that I have read on the GamecockCentral.com website concerning my "Mad Genius" post.

From coach to comedian: Marty Simpson is a former USA Today high school All-American and collegiate Academic All-Conference player for USC who scored the Gamecocks' first 6 points in the SEC. During 8 years as a high school varsity coach, Simpson led his team to the state finals and saw one player advance to set an NFL rookie record. Simpson now divides his time between his family, running a multimedia company named Blue-Eyed Panda and getting the same pre-game jitters by performing stand-up comedy nationwide.
